We've seen a number of good hard drive deals in the run-up to Black Friday, but today's is a doozy. Newegg is currently offering a 3TB Seagate on their eBay store for just $80. That would be a pretty good price for a 2TB drive, so if you need the space, I wouldn't hesitate to pick this one up. [Seagate 3TB External,… » 11/08/14 7:19pm 11/08/14 7:19pm

Remember that one NES game that you played every night for weeks then never got back from a friend you lent it to? This guy probably has it. And thousands of other games from the 1980s and 1990s, too. He's selling his entire collection for a whole lot of money. » 10/07/14 7:30pm 10/07/14 7:30pm

Someone is willing to pay more than $1000 for a fancy version of Bungie's next big video game. That's almost 10 times what the Ghost edition of Destiny costs. For that much cash, you better be able to go to the moon, too. » 8/04/14 11:30am 8/04/14 11:30am

Poor Peter Clatworthy—the guy who paid £450 (USD$735) for a picture of an Xbox One—has been the butt of many an internet joke. This video, while verging a bit on the mean side, is one of the best. » 12/06/13 1:30pm 12/06/13 1:30pm
